Hi there, no one else has reported these kind of problems with the plugin, out of 5272 installed sites. So it must be a wierd issue with your server.

There are 2 processes in the plugin which can take some resources. Scanning files, and contacting our server to check for updates. But those only take place every 12 hours, and only when you are visiting the admin area as a admin (super admin in multisite). So basically our plugin works in exactly the same way as the built in WP updater, on the same schedule.

There isn't anyway I can fix this for you unless you can get your host to give further details, like what script/function is causing the problem, etc.

Sorry for the delay! Beijing was good, though I fell sick. I didn't quite bother with the issue for the last 3 weeks, as we were busy working out our roadmap and negotiating some deals with our suppliers.

However, as the beta-testing date for our site, http://www.techgarage.my draws closer, it becomes more and more evident that wp-admin is slow.

And yes, it seems that WPMU DEV Update Notifications plugin is buggy.

For example, loading times for simple issues with and without the plugin, using Yslow, on Firebug

Will disable the plugin until it's fixed? Please pm me for the admin username and password to do the same test =) I do hope it could be fixed, as it will save many people the loading time. I guess perhaps the plugin makes numerous unnecessary queries.
